Legal Consultation on Turkish Law
An assessment of your legal position under Turkish law – before signing a contract, buying property, dealing with an inheritance or responding to proceedings in Türkiye – in a meeting or in writing.
What a legal consultation is
A legal consultation is an opinion on a specific situation in the light of current legislation and case law. Before you sign a contract, start proceedings or answer a formal notice, it sets out your rights and obligations, the options open to you and the likely consequences of each.
Under Article 35 of the Turkish Attorneys Act (Avukatlık Kanunu), giving legal opinions is reserved to lawyers. A consultation is an assessment made after reviewing your documents; it is not the same as general information.
Typical questions
Consultations cover the fields the office works in, each described under Practice Areas. Common questions include:
- Reviewing a sale or lease agreement for property in Türkiye before signing
- Checks before buying property as a foreign national, including the restrictions in Article 35 of the Land Registry Act (Tapu Kanunu)
- Inheritance with assets in Türkiye: certificate of inheritance, renunciation, division
- Powers of attorney for use in Türkiye, apostilles and certified translations
- Divorce and family matters before Turkish courts
- How to respond to a formal notice, service of documents or an enforcement procedure
How it works
- You outline your matter by phone, WhatsApp or email; we check that it falls within the office’s fields and that there is no conflict of interest.
- We tell you which documents are needed for the review.
- Scope and fee are agreed in writing before work begins.
- After reviewing the documents, you receive the assessment in a meeting or in writing.
- Any further steps – drafting, a formal notice, proceedings – are planned separately.
In Alanya or remotely

Fees and confidentiality
